Al-Rajhi: Major Progress in Saudi Labor Strategy
The Minister of Human Resources and Social Development in Saudi Arabia, Ahmed bin Sulaiman Al-Rajhi, confirmed that the Kingdom has implemented 97% of its labor market strategy. The number of Saudis in the job market has increased to 2.7 million, up from 1.7 million five years ago. Additionally, Saudi participation in the labor market has risen to 37%, with the targeted employment of women reaching 40%, surpassing the previous goal of 30%. The ministry is focused on developing national skills through a legislative framework and training initiatives, most notably the establishment of the Skills and Training Agency, the creation of 16 sectoral skills councils, and the launch of a skills classification guide covering over 2,000 professions and more than 10,000 skills. These initiatives include career guidance programs, cooperative training, and the national training campaign "Wa'd," which is expected to provide over 4 million training opportunities to enhance the readiness of the national workforce for the labor market.
